News broke a while ago that James Franco was going to be making a guest appearance on the long-running soap opera, General Hospital.  I found this fun, because I watch GH (stop making fun of me…..I like some soaps).  Apparently Franco had asked to appear on GH to experience the demanding shoot schedule of soap actors.  I have a lot of respect for them.  Do you know how difficult it would be to learn your lines and film for…

We open on Liz walking through the plaza of 30 Rock. She's carrying some large bags filled with plastic totes as Kenneth runs up behind her and offers his assistance.

We open on Liz getting her mail where she runs into none other than the very cute Dr. Drew Baird. Despite her accidentally drugging him and committing a felony by opening his mail, he asks her out for Friday, but Friday's no good for Liz due to that TV show thing that's her job. She suggests Saturday, to which Drew agrees, somewhat hesitantly, but then says that it doesn't have to be weird it's Valentine's Day. D'oh! Liz didn't…

310-generalissimo-01Hi, it's MsGwenniePennie. Due to a long standing girl crush on Tina Fey (I have this ongoing fantasy where our kids are in a playgroup together, which is different than the dream I had about her where she wouldn't hug me, but I digress), and a minimal amount of arm twisting from
Kripke Owns Me, I'll be your 30 Rock recapper. The fact that my recapper gig started with Jon Hamm's guest star appearance was the icing on the cake.
